When I open my eyes is there something I do not want to see? There is despair in the air, in the news, panic of losing, youthful looks to gain and have like possessions to be sold as anything. But why be bothered by these sights of contemporary disaster? There is nothing I can do to change this pain that is so obvious. Misery is not vanishing, it stays the same what ever happens, it possibly multiplies as humankind expands. Pain is there to tell us something. Pain has a meaning itself, it is a sign. It tells us direction, when to stop, how to react and what to feel. We can adjust to tolerate pain, learn not to fear hurting because it is an everyday issue, learn to live with certain amount of it when we have to, when there is no other alternative than adjust. An unpleasant feeling caused by intense damaging stimuli, such as stubbing a toe, burning a finger, putting alcohol on a cut, and bumping the “funny bone”. “Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage.” Wikipedia says. Pain motivates the individual to withdraw from damaging situations, to protect a damaged body part while it heals, and to avoid similar experiences in the future. Most pain resolves promptly once the painful stimulus is removed and the body has healed, but sometimes pain persists despite removal of the stimulus and apparent healing of the body; and sometimes pain arises in the absence of any detectable stimulus, damage or disease.

To say I am free has power.
What is liberation in the modern world and is the idea of liberation linked to the idea of modern? New liberal political actions which like to have light of good empowerment upon them. What do they, these forces of good, want to liberate and how do we feel ourselves liberated or free under a constant threat? What is it to be and make liberal reality, liberation happen and for whom is it even possible if anyone? Is it a question of choice and luck? Is freedom there to be taken? Does it happen when spoken about, liberation revealing itself when we dare to speak up? Is that the beginning of liberation when there is freedom to speak up for anyone, have knowledge to know of what to say, for sure. My question is is freedom in how we act? Media makes it so that speaking up becomes a spectacle which itself says at least act like you know what to say with added emotion. When to call oneself liberal, to take liberty of defining oneself as something is to know who one is, belong to a conceptual frame of a thinking aware individual who has feeling of self-worth, who has been given that feeling and right. One chooses to belong or you are manipulated to belong or you have no choice but to belong or one is entitled to belong. Feeling emotional about social injustices which happen to others, to you, being influenced by what happens anywhere and to what extend injustices in the world impact life elsewhere is part of my question. One has to know when it is time to act on behalf of the other. take liberty to act on behalf of someone. It is when you are free to speak up without fear and put your ego aside.
Digging into concept, act and idea of revolution, which we all have constructed in our minds to mean specific kind of event, maybe we take it for granted what revolution means and understand it plainly as aggressive social political chaotic act. It is mass event and making revolution is a necessity setting the world to understand the inevitability of change on attitude level, on every possible level of being human. Though we live in already revolutionized world it is an issue always constant and acute. I take feminist perspective into it, into changing the world more tolerant and equal which work is done around the globe by many as we speak. What are the results of work of activists, dissidents and artists is on display in social media and other media. My means in comprehending the phenomena: written text and art which means have an important role in making social change visible. Interesting is the personal input of everyone who wishes to do revolution. It is an energetic and demanding effort and it takes all of me.
I ride the wave that is what I do
It is difficult to point to direction of those smooth guys and place the blame on clean-looking, polite and correctly behaving politicians on a red carpet waving (not carrying guns, but image of a gun is upon them, built-in their moves). The act of correctness has immense impact, a trained performance on media stage, an imitation of certain kind of hygienic perfection. Forming perfect sentences, speaking in tone, well-chosen, friendly, amusing, joking and funny. Funniness appeals (is that why they joke on set or is it to hide something), verbal seduction and smelling good. Interesting is the connection between amiable smell and words said. It is part of politeness to create light atmosphere. Our senses, traditions, make-believe and biases are in an important role when focusing on and using stereotypes and how stereotypes got made, how they live and create our world. That is what stereotypes do strongly and strangely; create what we see, want to see and hear, and we creating stereotypes again in return, giving back the received filth ignoring truth. Prejudices being translations and rendition of the unchanged melody.
Emotion. Em. motion. Emm.
Contextualized furor, living, aorta flowing, pumping, curling, suffocating in fullness but dehiscent,
to rupture and break open. It is something violent to live.
Trampoline on a yard covered with snow, a grey house and on its wall said Enchantment.
Reflections of passengers on train window. Their phones and laptops.
Making working and lasting mental Riot!
Lumière a girl in jeans, look at the light. Where do you place your hands?
He asked if I had gone any further. How far do you want me to go? What do you think I should find? Is it something particular?
I try to measure every word and I realize it is not enough, because then I am not me, but trying to please someone else.
